Combined discrete/distributed products, that publish on the Web, on CD-Rom and on paper are also being developed. These products include the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) national atlas of the United States, published on both CD-ROM and the Web. Perhaps one of the most impressive publications of this type is the Atlas of Switzerland (2001), published on CD-ROM, on-line via the Web and elegantly published in a bound paper atlas. The atlas has been developed at the Department of Cartography at the ETH in Zurich, who have always developed and produced the atlas on behalf of the Swiss government.
